Pop Team Epic

For those of you who are fans of Pop Team Epic (which is probably many of you), you may have seen this popular tweet about a scene from the “Blu-ray OVA.” As some clever viewers pointed out, this scene wasn’t actually in the show – it was entirely faked!

The creator of the fake recently created this video showing the process of how he faked the video, and it’s a pretty interesting watch if you enjoy video editing or seeing how things are made.

Ever seen these two girls? If you haven’t, they’re from a popular 4-panel manga series by Bkub Okawa titled Poputepipikku or Pop Team Epic in English. The series is full of anime/manga/video game references, and is very bizarre and hard to describe. It follows the antics of two high school girls named Popuko and Pipimi. Popuko is short and very easily angered, while Pipimi is taller and quite calm.

The Popuko Nendoroid is approximately 70mm tall (about 2.8 inches) and the Pipimi one is 110mm tall (about 4.3 inches). They can both be preordered through the Good Smile Company Online Shop: Popuko for 4,500 yen (roughly $39.05) and Pipimi for 4,200 yen (roughly $36.45) including tax.

Preorders end on January 12 and they will both be released in June 2017.
